Severe cold & cough

Hello Mommies,
My lo has severe cold & cough from past 5 days. I'm giving him medicines prescribed by his paed from the day he is sick, but there is no improvement. What medicines do you give to your lo for cold & cough?

hi dear...my lo also had cough and cold few days back...pd prescribed anticold and antibiotics both...but after the given course..running nose still persisted...so i have started giving him a pinch of big cardomom powder alongwith my bm daily on the same time..Now completly recovering.

my daughter was also suffering frm severe cold n fever. ped has given paracetamol+anti allergic+anti biotic.
sad thing is nw again she is having cough n cold, only 3-4 days she had relief :(
its really painful to see our lo coughing n diff in breathing. i m havng sleeples nites because of this..
can any one suggest some home remedy which can be used/applied daily to avoid cold n cough.
